That's not exactly true.

As a titan pilot, there is more to do than just clicking broadcasts / sorting your overview / aligning. That's the kind of stuff that happens when everything is going well or you are shooting an inanimate object. As a titan pilot on the losing side last night, there was a lot of refitting, repositioning, and co-ordination. Fleet and sub-channel commanders are constantly relaying information over Skype or mumble channels. I personally spent a lot of time trying to get out of bubbles once the call was made to try to extract if possible. This was after two hours of staring at a black screen, praying that my ship wasn't dying without a chance of me fighting back.

There is also an incredible amount of micro that one can do in small gang or solo PvP, but that kind of stuff doesn't make for fancy headlines.

Only those still afflicted by eve-addiction can believe that not playing a game for 2 hours is playing a game.


Luckily, I have a nice enough computer to alt-tab and play some Dota 2.
